🆘 URGENT — LILY COULD BE EUTHANIZED WEDNESDAY 8/19 💔

LILY’s kennel buddy Jenny left with a foster this weekend, and now LILY is at the TOP of the list and could be euthanized Wednesday morning. She desperately needs someone to step up before it’s too late.

🌼 LILY #A659741 is an adorable 4-year-old girl weighing just 40 lbs—the perfect smaller-medium size! She is dog friendly, people friendly and loves getting attention from humans. 💕 She did great sharing her kennel with Jenny, but now she’s there alone waiting for someone to choose her.

LILY has already been at the shelter since 7/28, and time has run out. She can be euthanized Wednesday 8/19 or any future Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning for space. 💔

🚨 BRICK NEEDS A FOSTER. HE IS NOT DOING WELL AT THE RESCUE. 🚨

Brick had a foster. He had a home, a person and a routine. Then that foster commitment ended, and Brick was brought back to the rescue.

He has absolutely no idea what he did wrong.

He is miserable. He is depressed. And he is not doing well here.

What makes this especially heartbreaking is everything Brick has already survived. He came to us in horrible physical condition, with BBs lodged in his body after someone had used him for target practice.

Humans have failed this dog over and over again.

And now, he has been failed again.

Brick doesn’t understand foster commitments or why the person he trusted disappeared. He only knows that he had a home — and now he doesn’t.

We need a committed Houston-area foster for Brick. Someone who understands that fostering means being there for him until we can get him to the next chapter of his life.

Please help us get Brick back into a home.

If you can’t foster, PLEASE SHARE. He needs someone to see him.

💔 JULIA is a stunning young girl who is terrified in the shelter environment. Watching her freeze in fear while being videoed is heartbreaking. She desperately needs someone to comfort her, give her time, and show her that she is safe.

Sadly, fear in a shelter can make a dog appear like she “doesn’t show well.” Please don’t let JULIA’s fear become a death sentence. She deserves the chance to decompress in a loving home where she can finally feel safe.

If you’re interested in JULIA, please come meet her. Staff can bring her out of her kennel for a meet-and-greet so you can see the sweet girl behind the fear.

An entire family ended up at the shelter together, and now all three are at risk of losing their lives. 💔

MONICA and her two adult pups, MISTY & RALPHIE, came in together as strays on 7/20. The girls are still kenneled together, while RALPHIE had to be separated from them because he is male.

Now this little family needs people to step up before it’s too late. All three are urgent and can be euthanized for space on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning. 😭

PLEASE DON’T LET HEARTWORMS SCARE YOU AWAY! Heartworm is treatable. Local adopters should ask a shelter manager whether they qualify for sponsored treatment through Heal-A-Heart at the nearby wellness clinic. Low-cost treatment options may also be available.

⚠️** THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE SAVED TOGETHER. One foster or adopter stepping up for even ONE of them can save a life and create desperately needed kennel space**.

🏡 LOCAL FOSTER/ADOPTER
If you can help MISTY, MONICA or RALPHIE, send an email with your name, phone number, the dog’s name/ID and whether you want to foster or adopt:

🆘️ On Euthanasia list at BARC, Houston for Wednesday, 8/19/26. Deadline at 1pm 🆘️

ID #A2088449

🐾 Meet Nate

ID #A2088449

2-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix

Black / White | 46 lbs

Intake Date: 7/29/2026

Nate came into BARC as a stray after a caller reported a group of several dogs outside in the heat and was concerned for their health. Elmo (ID #A2088448) is still at BARC, but not on the euthanasia list yet. Sadly, Dallas (ID #2088462) was already euthanized. 2 of the other dogs are no longer listed and we don't know their status (ID #A2088446 and ID #A2088459).

🩺 MEDICAL

Nate is heartworm LOW POSITIVE and is now being treated for an upper respiratory infection/CIRD.

On 8/18, he was sneezing yellow discharge and was moved to the treatment room. He was started on Doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

He has received his DA2PP vaccines, Bordetella, rabies vaccine, deworming, pyrantel and Advantage Multi.

🐾Behavior notes:

During many walks, Nate has shown a neutral or relaxed body, soft expression and loose-leash walking. He has also been observed quietly resting on his bed and ignoring barking dogs once given some space.

However, Nate can become tense around other dogs. On 8/17, he was whining and standing against his kennel door as other dogs were walked past, but once it was his turn, he became quiet and walked loosely beside his handler.

🆘 11 week old Lab mix boy Frasier, who has a previously injured front leg. is on the euthanasia list, 8/19. There will be no extensions per BARC. 🆘

⏰ Frasier #A2091306 must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or he will lose his life.🥺

💙🐶 Frasier #A2091306

8/14 Stray | Labrador Retriever Mix | Male | 11 Weeks | 11.0 lbs | Heartworm N/A

💙 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Frasier #A2091306. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/14/26: Frasier was found as one of six loose dogs at Coolwood Head Start.

💖 Frasier is just an 11-week-old baby who has already had a difficult start to life. At only 11 pounds, he arrived at the shelter with an older fracture to his front right leg that has been healing crooked. Despite his injury, the shelter notes that he can be adopted as he is, with further veterinary care pursued later if needed. This little puppy deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead of losing his life at the shelter.

🩺 Medical Notes:

8/14/26: Front right leg appeared to have an older injury/break. Frasier was limping.

8/15/26: Frasier's front right leg appears to have an older injury/fracture with a large, hard callus just above the carpus. He is limping. The fracture is healing but is crooked/deviated laterally. The shelter notes that his limp appears to be related more to the crooked healing than pain. He can be adopted in his current condition, with further veterinary care pursued later if desired.

These fur kids lost their lives:

• Tiger

I always include the photos of the lost that they might be better remembered. Since poor Tiger was alone, he gets more than one.

The last image appears in honor of all the many unknown, nonhuman and human, who have suffered or are suffering in the Texas Pet Overpopulation Crisis, now further complicated by the New World screwworm outbreak. You do exist. Although I haven't the data to honor you individually, you are not forgotten.

​

The profiles for the 8/19 list are already posted in r/findfostersfordogs. Please take a look and see if there isn't one that would be prefect for you or someone with whom you can share the post.

If you are interested in a dog, DM u/lingeringneutrophil, u/BanditY77, or both immediately! Then clear your schedule. There is no time for anything but rescuing the dog. I have a guide you might find helpful. https://redd.it/1sy6v1t/

Don't forget the many wonderful dogs on the long-stay list: https://www.houstontx.gov/barc/barcdata/BARC_LOSV2.1.pdf This list is not as up to date as BARC implies. While it is updated every hour, a lot of dogs who are gone, one way or another, are still on there. If you do see a dog you are interested in, please DM lingeringneutrophil or BanditY77.

If those dogs are not on tomorrow's list, they soon will be.
